S.E. Biglow

She'll need the courage of Daniel to survive this lion's den.

Reverend Margot Quade never expected to be dropped in the midst of a murder. She just wanted to get reacquainted with her hometown of Port Marie, Vermont, maybe find her place in the world again after serving her tour of duty. But when a friendly dinner with a member of her unit turns deadly, she's pulled into a mystery she can't help but solve.

Then things go from dead to worse when she and all the suspects are stuck in the victim's home during the worst snowstorm her little town has seen in decades. Now she'll need more than a prayer to discover the truth behind who wanted the victim out of the picture ... and to stay alive herself. To complicate matters, her strained relationship with her cousin, who just happens to be the attending officer, threatens to ruin the whole investigation.

Can Margot and her cousin set aside their differences and bring a killer to justice? Or will the real reason behind the murder haunt Margot as much as her past?

Into the Lion's Den: A Religious Amateur Detective Mystery

Can Reverend Margot Quade save that which is lost before it's too late? 

 

Spring has come to Port Marie, Vermont, shedding new light on old mysteries. Margot has discovered two sets of skeletal remains buried in the wall of the church basement. And even though her police officer cousin Sam warned her to stay out of the case, Margot can't help herself. After all, it's her church, her domain, and her responsibility to protect her flock.

 

Hoping for answers, Margot seeks out Conrad Baptiste, the former church Custodian, and becomes reacquainted with a loss from his past-- his teenage son who went missing twenty years ago has been identified as one of the bodies.

 

Then, when a new twist in the case has Margot digging into the disappearance of two other boys who looked eerily similar to Conrad's son, a disturbing pattern is revealed. Now, with a fourth boy missing, Margot can't sit this one out. She ignores Sam's orders to stay away and races to the church, knowing that if she doesn't get there in time, another boy's life will be lost. 

 

Will the good reverend be able to save him and solve the old mystery without losing her own life? Or has she dug a little too deep into the past to find her way out?
